Stomp is outside the circle at this point.

This thread does not suck.
This thread is actually linked to the “bugs game.” Click the link above.

Haha…..ok then. All I know is I clicked over and Damon got a lead-off double.

Still beats the hell out of the end of that last thread, though.
Just like Wedge, I waited too long to make my move …

Awesome, I need to read that thread. I was at the game and never went back and read it.

It’s not linked to the old thread, it’s linked to the game.
Technical thing, not worth explaining.

My need to go back and read that thread remains, though.
I think I was the most stressed out anyone who had had 16 beers in one day has ever been. I practically gave myself a bladder infection because I both refused to stop drinking and leave to go to the bathroom.

shouldnt jhonny be standing like a foot away from the bag in foul territory in that situation, to avoid exactly what happened?
by mpstable on Apr 26, 2008 6:18 PM EDT 0 recs
Okay, I’ll say it again in this thread:
We are small balling with three innings to go against the yankees, against a pitcher who can’t throw strikes consistently. Wedge, bad bad bad bad bad. Got what we deserved, if you believe in karma, which I don’t.
by tabler84 on Apr 26, 2008 6:18 PM EDT 0 recs
that’s why you stand on the bag at third, to avoid the unassisted double play

Girardi matching us with the bunting. Yay.
Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

Well now we know where all that luck Sowers had went….right to the fucking skankees. Fuck my life and karma

I didn’t get to watch Sowers much…..was it luck that got him out of the jams?

Well, consider that he was down in just about every count. And when you consider that he walked only the last batter that he faced, it’s amazing that his strike percentage was in the mid-50s.
Some hard hit atom balls, yeah. But I’ll give him credit for grit.

Is Cabrera the most overrated Yankee on their team right now? I say yes.
by mjschaefer on Apr 26, 2008 6:20 PM EDT 0 recs
I dunno, Cano is hitting like absolute crap right now.

but he has put up numbers before. Melky is all hype.

He gave up one hit, it was a solid line drive but somewhat luckily placed.

I meant this season. He’s been painfully erratic….consistent with the rest of the team I guess.

he bunts/swings like he throws
The Disabled List just called ... it was trying to unload Joe Borowski. I offered a bagel but balked at giving up a ham sandwich. It wanted to keep Westbrook.

Jeter’s mannerisms at the plate make me want to kick him.

Man, NY is getting lucky right now.

I pride myself on reading every post here at LGT, but there have been about 5 benfran references today that I really haven’t understood.

First and only time I played an MLB video game … I just threw the ball at Jeter’s head, over and over again.

Not really. It wasn’t that joyous, I was just doing what needed to be done.

Fox’s little graphic showing the baserunners is almost useless.
by Julie on Apr 26, 2008 6:23 PM EDT 0 recs
fuck this ump that would have been a strike an inning or two ago
by ahowie on Apr 26, 2008 6:23 PM EDT 0 recs
Thank you, Fox, for not putting pitch speeds up.
Is Jensen hitting 90?
by tabler84 on Apr 26, 2008 6:24 PM EDT 0 recs
Is there a difference? I mean, i understand there IS a difference, but functionally for a hitter?

Between 89 and 90? Yeah, seriously.

Oh, I see what you’re saying.
STO radar guns had JL hitting 93 plenty last year, no?

Lewis is apparently trying to miss Victor’s target on every pitch.

Do you guys see how Jeter takes his lead? OMG it’s so incredibly clutch and magestic. It’s just nice to see a guy who plays the game the right way.

And most were meatballs that badly missed the spot.

A-Rod is right on these pitches

Apparently this was not an exciting game until the Yankees scored…
by mjschaefer on Apr 26, 2008 6:28 PM EDT 0 recs
In fairness, it was neither close nor late until the Yankees scored, sending a tie game into the 7th inning.

One day I'll get over to watch the Tribe play

I think Giambi’s head is bigger than it was when this game started.
